5.
Pour the batter into muffin cups about 70 ~ 80% full with a spoon. Sprinkle sliced almonds or walnuts as toppings if you like.

Helpful Hints

The key to fluffy muffins is avoiding over mixing at Step 4!! When the batter is no longer floury, stop mixing. You can use any kinds of sugar, but cane sugar blends well with margarine and it's nutritious, so I recommend it!
